Chapter 177 Immortal Grass
Jiang Lisheng had originally thought about eating it, but what if he was thinking about planting it now?

The land in the spiritual palace can grow things, right?

Yu Wuchen didn't know either. "No one's spiritual palace has ever been able to grow spiritual plants. I dare not say whether your nonsense works or not. Why don't you try it yourself?"

Jiang Lisheng was eager to use his spiritual power to refine the elixir, "I'll try it now."

She immediately cut off the communication card and began to dig through the storage ring. After a moment, she said to Shan Gao, "There is not a single living spiritual plant."

When she was in Qingxu, she grew up in the medicine peaks for alchemy and refining. When she wanted to use spiritual plants, she would just pick them from the medicine field. She never thought of picking them and storing them in the storage ring for use at any time. At that time, she never thought that one day she would suddenly leave Qingxu.

Isn’t it the case nowadays?

Shan Gao commented, “You are so poor.”

Jiang Lisheng rolled her eyes. If she was in Kunlun, she was indeed penniless, but now that she had her storage ring back, how could she still be considered poor? Many people didn't have as much as she did.

She stood up and said, "I'll go find Uncle Chu. He must have it."

She stood up too quickly and accidentally knocked over a long box that she had just picked up and tossed on the table because it was in the way. When she opened the box, a dead branch lay inside.

When Shan Gao saw the dead branch, he was immediately shocked, "Immortal Grass?"

Jiang Lisheng was suspicious, "What did you say?"

"I'm talking about the herb of immortality." Shan Gao pointed at the dead branch.

Jiang Lisheng doubted, "You mean this thing? No."

What a joke, where does she get the herb of immortality?

"Why not? How could I not recognize it?" Shan Gao stared, very sure, "This is the grass of immortality."

Seeing that it said it with certainty, Jiang Lisheng also had some doubts, "This is when I was a child, I was learning to draw talismans. I accidentally burned my master's spiritual plant with a fire-repelling talisman. My master was furious and beat me up. Then he threw the spiritual plant and the pot to me and asked me to save it. How could I save it? I put it away as a bento specimen."

Later, her master didn't hold on to this matter, and she naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to remind him. So she put it away for several years. If she hadn't looked for it today, she would have thrown it out because it was in the way and would have forgotten about it.

Mountain ointment: “…”

He dared to conclude, "This is the immortal grass."

He looked at Jiang Lisheng like a fool, "You don't even know the Immortal Grass?"

Jiang Lisheng was looked down upon by a beast, and he immediately retorted, "How could I not know the Immortal Grass? There is a rare grass in Daye Mountain, which looks like yarrow, is covered with velvet, blooms blue flowers, and bears white fruits. It is called the Immortal Grass. Taking one plant can make people live longer and increase their cultivation by a hundred years. When I was in Kunlun, I was not willing to go to the Qishan Secret Realm. The head of the Medical Hall, Ying, said that I lacked spiritual power and cultivation, so I must go. The head of the Discipline Hall, Zhou, also wanted me to go, so I went. Who knew that I would fall into the Bitter Mountain instead? Not only did I not find the Immortal Grass, but I even lost my cultivation."

When she mentioned this, she felt depressed. It was better to have spiritual power than to have no spiritual power, right? Now she had none at all.

Seeing that everything she said made sense, Shan Gao put away his contemptuous look at her, "You are just talking on paper as described in the mortal picture book. You only know the immortal grass that has grown, but you don't know the immortal grass that has turned into a dead branch. No wonder your master beat you up, you actually burned the immortal grass he raised to death. He didn't beat you to death, which was a sign of his kindness." Jiang Lisheng sat down again and looked at the dead branch, "Is this really the immortal grass?"

Shan Gao didn't even want to answer him, "Why don't you ask your master and you'll know?"

Jiang Lisheng took out the communication card again and asked Yu Wuchen, "Master, do you still remember the spiritual plant you raised that was burned to death by my fire-repelling talisman seven or eight years ago?"

"How can you not remember? You bastard, how many good things have you ruined?" Yu Wuchen cursed.

Jiang Lisheng shrank his neck and asked, "Is that spiritual plant the Immortal Grass?"

Yu Wuchen snorted coldly, "What do you think?"

Jiang Lisheng said innocently, "I don't know, that's why I asked you."

"Why not? If you hadn't destroyed it, would I have punished you to go to the library? To let you read all the books?" Yu Wuchen said, "You idiot, you stayed in the library for two years and still couldn't revive it."

Jiang Lisheng was shocked, "So it really is the Immortal Grass."

She felt wronged. "Such a precious spiritual plant, why didn't you protect it? You just put it in front of the window of your house. I have watched it being exposed to the wind, sun and rain since I was a child. How could I know it was so precious?"

Yu Wuchen choked, "No matter how good something is, it's still just a thing. Why should I take good care of it? Haven't you destroyed many good things since you were a child?"

This time Jiang Lisheng was speechless. If it were someone else who got the Immortality Grass, they would definitely take good care of it, but his master was lacking in this regard. He never treated these good things as good things.

She was depressed. "You tried every possible way to improve my cultivation. Why didn't you let me eat this? It would save you from being harmed by me."

Yu Wuchen was annoyed, "It has no flowers and no fruits, so it's useless for you to eat it." He asked, "Why? You finally remembered it? It's amazing that you know it now."

Jiang Lisheng did not take credit for it. "It was Shan Gao who recognized it, not me. None of the books in the library recorded that it looked like a dead branch. I remember that when I burned it, it had two leaves. Later, all the leaves were burned, leaving only a stem. At that time, the stem was still half green. Later, I watered it with spiritual springs, transformed it into a growth talisman, and specially learned pen cultivation for it, hoping to stimulate its vitality. After several months of hard work, it didn't move at all, so I put it away. Now, after so much time, who knew it had become a dead branch? It's hard for Shan Gao to recognize it."

Yu Wuchen scolded her, "You have no patience, yet you blame it for not being able to be saved? Have you ever seen a spiritual plant that can't be raised for a year or two, or even three to five years, or even ten to eight years? I raised it for twenty years, and it only had two leaves, and you burned it with a fire. You only raised it for a few months, and you threw it aside. You still have the nerve to say that?"

Jiang Lisheng accepted the scolding obediently. How could she know that the spiritual plant that was thrown under the window all day long and was raised by his master as if it was a game, watering it with spiritual spring water when he remembered to, and leaving it out in the sun to dry out, with its leaves often wilted, could be the elusive immortal grass?
She even saw the spiritual plant being hit by heavy raindrops, and its branches were bent. But she couldn't bear it, so she took the pot back to the house to avoid the rain. At that time, it felt that being raised by its master was too pitiful.

So, when she burned it later, her master got angry and beat her up, but she didn't think it was because the thing was valuable. She thought it was because she was not good at anything and her master took the opportunity to vent his anger.

She touched her nose and asked in a low voice: "Now, if I throw it into my spiritual house, do you think it will live long?"

"How should I know?" Yu Wuchen said angrily, "You have been able to do this since you were a child. Just figure it out for yourself!"

After saying that, he cut off the communication card.

Jiang Lisheng: "..."
